I am now in my very early 30's, and I know so many karate instructors that started taking martial arts because of those movies.

It is sad he is gone, but at least he leaves a positive legacy portraying a good character.

Yes sad indeed, but that's life, we'll all pass there some day.

As he said in the next karate kid

Grass is Green and Sun is Warm

I often imitate him in my classes and call my students danielsan and tell the 'CONCENTRATE, FOCUS POWER!!" How great that he had such an impact on our community.

I was a teen in the eighties...He certainly was an influence in some ways...
